A copper alloy Roman phallic mount dating from c. AD 43 - 410. The object is 'T-shaped' in plan, the phallus itself being triangular in cross-section and its straight sides gradually converging towards the raised, moulded tip. At the other end, the testicles project at a right angle from the right and left hand sides and an oblique ridge separates the rounded testicles from the phallus. The underside of the object is concave with an integrally cast, circular-sectioned rivet at each end. The rivet at the tip is complete but the one at the top has been broken at the base. The object has…

A Roman copper alloy mount or possibly buckle pin dating to the first century AD. The piece is a flat plate, winged in shape with curving wings forming C-shapes running back from a central point. Beteen the base of the 'wings' is a flat projecting triangular tab ending in an old break. There is a groove in each wing which would have been filled with enamel. Small fragments survive in the centre and were probably green or blue. The reverse is plain and the item has a green patina. The pin measures 17.49mm in length, 19.75mm in width and weighs 1.70g. It appears to be incomplete at t…

The mount is an almost flat plate, very slightly D-shaped in cross-section with the obvserse slightly convex, and lozenge-shaped in plan, with bevelled edges. The front of the plate is so worn that any decoration that may have been present is now no longer visible due to mud and corrosion There is an integral rivet present on the mount located centrally on the reverse; this is bent over in line with the longer axis in the direction of an end point and ends in a blunt point. Towards this point, c3mm a…

Post Medieval cast copper mount dating to the 16th or 17th centuries. The mount is in the form of a large circular boss with a projection to one side. The boss has a hollow back and convex front which rises in two steps to a central dome, between the first and second step is a double incised ring. The edges of the boss are irregular and slightly damaged but it seems probable there was only ever one projection. The projecting piece is in the form of an oval lobe with a smaller lobed terminal beyond, both are convex on the front and the larger lobe has a hollow back. From the back of th…

Post Medieval mount dating to the 17th century for a leather item. The flat plate of the mount has a tri-lobed end with a narrowed waist underneath, the lobes each side being thin and curved out, one now bent forward at the tip. This waist then expands forming rounded shoulders before a constriction formed of indents coming in from both sides below which it expands again to a square plate with outwardly curved corners. Below the square is an incised line across the front then a wider collar with rounded ends and possibly a broken lower edge. On the back are two integral attachment s…

A corroded post-medieval cast copper-alloy mount of c. 17th-century date. It has a flat trapezoidal body with bevelled edges on its upper surface. From the narrower end of the body an initially wider triangular protrusion emerges. From the wider end of the body is an initially narrower circular protrusion. From the flat back two integral prongs would have emerged. One no longer exists; its attachment scar is located at the centre of the circular terminal. A prong emerges from one of the bases of the triangular terminal, as such completely off centre. The prong curves inward to the cen…

A corroded post-medieval cast copper-alloy mount of 17th to 18th-century date. It has a flat oval body. From each shorter end of the body protrude a slightly raised trefoil terminal and flared terminal respectively. Each terminal features a pair of crude grooves to delineate the designs. From the flat back emerge two integral prongs. These spring from circular bases at the trefoilate terminal and the junction of the body with the other terminal. Only stubs of the prongs survive; they appear to be of rectangular cross-section. This mount has corroded to a red/brown colour. Such mounts …

An incomplete and rather worn copper alloy gilt Late Early-Medieval asymmetrical mount in the English Urnes style (c.1000-1100). It has five incorporated holes, presumably for rivets (now missing), three of which are worn through and incomplete. The mount is in the form of a protruding animal head terminal modelled in relief, at the end of a long neck of a Urnes-style quadruped which forms a spiral loop, so that in plan, the mount has the shape of a ragged-edged rounded-cornered lozenge, with a single long projecting knop (the zoomorphic head and neck) leading from one corner. The bo…

Copper alloy mount. Cast concavo-convex mount comprising a smiling human mask in a hat or hood, with a backward pointing blunt hook rising behind it. Below the mask a miniature torso is represented with a pair of crooked ball-ended arms springing from it, and a circular loop, probably for an attachment rivet, below. The hollow mask is slightly thickened close to the hook, suggesting allowance for its use, perhaps fastening a strap. The facial features include a high brow, a broad triangular nose perhaps flattened by wear, and lidded eyes with bags beneath them. A tight fitting ha…

A cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date (c.AD 1600-1750), plausibly a harness fitting. The mount has a heart-shaped plate that is very shallowly convex at the front and concave at the rear. At the narrow end there is an integral fleur-de-lis-shaped protrusion, bent down slightly at the tip. The central element of this feature is pointed and the two side fleurs are small and rounded, set at right angles to it. There is a V-shaped groove on the upper surface of the mount about halfway along which gives more definition to the heart shape. Below this, and above the lis terminal, …

A small copper-alloy post-medieval mount in the form of a fleur-de-lis. The central fleur is pointed, while the lateral ones are lobes set at right angles to it. They are delineated by V-shaped grooves between them on the upper surface. A large expanding lobe emerges from the base of the lis and is rounded at its end. The sides of the mount are bevelled subtly on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat. Emerging from the reverse of the central fleur is a truncated integral prong of rectangular cross-section, now vestigial. This is the only obvious means of attachment. Post…

A copper-alloy mount in the form of a Tudor rose of post-medieval date (16/17th century AD). This small mount is essentially flat and in the form of a double five-petalled rose with small pointed lobes in the cusps. The centre of the upper surface is moulded in low relief with five arms emerging from a central point to join the side of the internal rose. Between each arm a small spur springs from the side of the internal rose; thus five heart shaped cells are created. In one of these white enamel survives in place. In an adjacent cell formed between the roses is red enamel, and w…

A broken and incomplete figurative copper-alloy mount of medieval date (c. 12th/13th century AD). The mount would probably have depicted a saint full length, by reference to similar items discussed below; only the upper half of the torso and the head survive. The figure is shown facing holding a book in their right hand, through which a rivet hole has been drilled. An old break has occurred below this, largely diagonal, but also having removed some of the right arm. The body of the object is sub-rectangular and convex. The head above is moulded and set forward of the mount. A nose and…
